Summary:

This text stresses the importance of Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) - the combination of flexible endoscopy and ultrasound (U/S) - as a tool to see beyond the digestive tract into the human body, and in particular to visualize the pancreas, an endocrine organ which is hidden deep inside the retroperitoneum. Pancreatic cancer, which is increasing globally, remains one of the most aggressive and morbid cancers, and is only survivable if the cancer is detected early. EUS has become the primary tool used to diagnose such cancers, as well as a variety of other diseases affecting the pancreas. The text is intended for all physicians dealing with patients with pancreatic issues, and will provide them with indications and treatment algorithms for cost-effective referrals and diagnostic testing. For endoscopists an with interest in learning EUS, this book will guide them through this complex technology, helping them to better understand the physical and interpretational skills needed in order to perform pancreatic EUS in a simple and effective fashion.
